HISTORY. 


This  church  was  first  organized  while  the  Incli 
v,  ere  dwelling  in  the  forests  and  plains  around,  and 
before  the  borough  of  Carlisle  was  laid  out.  Its  o- 
riginal  place  of  worship  was  on  a  glebef  "which  till 
lately  belonged  to  the  congregation,  situated  about 
two  miles  west  of  the  borough.  Sometime  after  the 
borough  began  to  be  built,  a  Presbyterian  church  was 
mized  in  it,  which  called  the  Rev.  Geo.  Duifieui, 
D.  D.  who  was  ordained  and  installed  the  25th  day  of 
Sept.  1761.  The  church  in  the  country,  then  under 
the  care  of  the  Rev.  Mr.  J.  Steel,  soon  after  erected 
a  place  of  worship  in  the  town  for  their  temporary 
accommodation,  till  the  present  building  on  the  centre 
square  was  built.  The  two  churches  differed  in 
points  of  doctrine  and  discipline,  and  were  classed  in 
the  parties  of  Old  Lights  and  New  Lights,  as  they 
were  designated  in  the  olden  time.  After  the  remov- 
al of  Mr.  Duffield  to  Philadelphia,  and  the  dest. 
tion  by  fire  of  the  place  of  worship  belonging  to  his 
congregation,  and  the  death  of  Mr.  Steel,  the  two 
<  l:^:;- relations  united  and  called  the  Rev.  Robert  Da- 
vidson, D.  D.  who  commenced  his  pastoral  labours  in 
17S5.  Mr.  Duffield's  congregation  erected  a  gai-  ^ 
lery  in  the  building  belonging  to  Mr.  Steel's  congre- 
gation. Subsequently  the  congregation  had  the  ser- 
vices of  the  Rev.  Alexander  Nesbitt,  D.  D.  who  of- 
ficiated as  Doctor  in  connection  with  Dr.  Davidson, 
the  Pastor. 

The  Rev.  Geo.  Duffield  was  invited  to  the  pastor- 
al charge  of  the  congregation  in   September,    IS  15, 


— accepted  the  call  in  February,  1816,  and  was  or- 
dained and  installed  September  25,  1816.     The  con- 
gregation became  incorporated  by  act  of  Assembly, 
August  26,   17S6.

FORM    OP    ADMISSION 

INTO 

THE    PRESEYTERIAN    CHURCH 

CARLISLE,    PENN. 


[The  minister  addresses  the  candidates  appearing 
before  the  church  in  the  following  or  similar  remarks:] 

You  have  here  presented  yourselves  before  God 
and  this  church,  to  profess  your  cordial  choice,  and 
covenant  engagements  to  serve  the  Lord,  and  to  in- 
corporate yourselves  with  his  people  in  full  and  visi- 
ble fellowship.  Your  present  act  creates  no  obliga- 
tions which  did  not  before  exist,  but  simply  recog- 
nises those  by  which  you  now  feel  you  ought  to 
have  been  influenced  ever  since  you  were  capable  of 
moral  action.  It  is  your  sin  that  you  have  refused  so 
long  to  own  them.  And  you  now  confess  this  sin, 
and  declare  your  hearty  surrender  of  yourselves  to 
God  the  Father,  Son  and  Holy  Spirit,  in  all  the  offi- 
ces which  they  discharge  for  the  government  and  sal- 
vation of  men,  and  your  fixed  and  unalterable  pur- 
pose to  bring  all  your  powers  in  subjection  to  Christ, 
and  to  identify  your  interests  for  time  and  for  eterni- 
ty with  the  church  of  God. 

We  trust  this  thing  has  been  seriously  and  fully 
considered  by  you.  It  is  solemn  in  its  nature,  and  its 
consequences  will  be  eternal.  God  and  angels  and 
men  are  witnesses  of  this  transaction.  It  will  be 
recorded  in  Heaven  and  on  earth, and  will  live  in  your 
own  delightful  or  mournful  remembrance,  amid  the 
songs  of  the  redeemed  or  the  wailings  of  the  lost. 


Yet  with  these  reflections  you  need  not  be  over- 
whelmed: your  divine  Lord  and  Master  has  said, 
4 'Have  not  I  commanded  thee,  be  strong  and  of  a 
good  courage:  for  the  Lord  thy  God  is  with  thee 
whithersoever  thou  goest. "  With  your  whole  soul 
fixed  on  Him,  come,  and  in  holy  confidence  in  your 
risen  and  Almighty  Redeemer,  adopt  the  confession 
and  covenant  which  we  now  propound  to  you. 

CONFESSION    OF    FAITH. 

The    Unity  and  Trinity  of  the  Godhead. 

1.  You  believe  that  there  is  one  eternal, almighty,  in- 
dependent, self-existent  God,  infinite  and  unchange- 
able in  his  righteousness,  holiness,  and  truth;  who 
subsists  in  an  incomprehensible  Trinity  of  Persons, 
Father,  Son,  and  Holy  Spirit,  equal  in  power  and 
glory,  the  one  omniscient  Creator,  Proprietor,  Gov- 
ernor and  Judge   of  all. 

Deut.  6.  4:  1  Cor.  8.  4—6.  Ps.  90.  2:  1  Tim.  1.  17:  Gen.  17.  1 : 
Kph.  1.  11:  Ps.  115.  3:  Exod.  3.  14,  Ps.  J 47.  5,  7:  James  1.  17: 
Ex.   34.  6,  7:    I  John  5.  7;  John  1.  14:  2  Cor.  13.  14. 

The  Rule  of  Faith  and  Practice. 

2.  That  the  sacred  scriptures  of  the  Old  and  New 
testaments  were  given  by  inspiration  of  God,  and 
are  the  only  all-sufficient  and  infallible  rule  of  faith 
and  practice  to  mankind. 

2  Tim.   3. 15—17:  2  Pet.  1.  19—21:    Isaiah  8.  23. 

The  primitive   state  of  man — the  Fall — and  its 
consequences. 

3.  That  God  created  Adam  with  an  immortal  soul, 
perfect  in  knowledge,  righteousness  and  holiness  and 
so  constituted  him  the  public  head   of  his  race,   that 


in  consequence  of  his  sin  all  mankind  sinned,  not  by 
any  necessity  of  nature  but  certainly  by  their  own 
voluntary  act  or  choice. 

Gen.  1.  27.  Eph.  4.  24:  Col.  3.  10:  Rom.  5.  12-  Ps.  58.  3: 
James  1.  13,  15. 

Depravity. 

4.  That  all  the  moral  exercises  of  unregenerate 
men,  being  the  result  of  a  supreme  selfishness  are 
wholly  and  continually  sinful. 

Gen.  6.  5:   Rom.  3.  19:    8.  5—8:  Eph.  2.  1—3. 

The  method  of  recovery. 

5.  That  for  the  recovery  of  fallen  man,  the  eternal 
Son  of  God  took  upon  him  the  nature  of  man,  suffer- 
ed and  died  to  atone  for  the  sins  of  the  whole  world, 
arose  from  the  dead  on  the  third  day  and  ascended 
into  heaven,  where  He  makes  intercession  for  them 
that  come  to  him,  and  ever  lives  and  reigns  the  Heir 
of  all  things,  whence  He  will  come  to  judge  the 
quick  and  dead. 

John  1.  14:  Heb.  2.  14-  1  John  2.  2:  John  20.  19: 
Actsl.   10,    11:     Heb.  7.25:    Heb.  1.2:  Acts  17.  31. 

The  reality  and  apjMcation  of  the  atonement. 

6.  That  while  the  sufferings  and  death  of  Christ 
are  an  ample  atonement  for  the  sins  of  the  whole 
world,  so  that  God  can  now  consistently  forgive  sins, 
and  be  just  in  justifying  the  ungodly,  and  it  is  freely 
and  sincerely  offered  to  all  men  in  the  gospel,  yet 
those  only  will  be  saved  by  it,  who  repent  of  their 
sins  and  believe  on  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

Rom.  3.  19—26:      Isaiah  45.  22:  Luke  14.  16—24:       Luke 
13.3.     Mark  16.  16. 


8 

The  moral  agency  and  accountability  of  man. 

7.  That  men  are  naturally  endowed  with  those 
mental  and  moral  powers  which  capacitate  them  for 
being  made  the  subjects  of  God's  moral  government 
so  that  He  will  be  just  in  punishing  them  forever  if 
they  do  not  repent  and  believe  upon  Christ,  and  their 
endless  perdition  will  be  the  result  of  their  own  vol- 
untary disobedience  and  rejection  of  salvation. 

John  3.  19:  Isaiah  5.  4:  Mat.  25.  14—30:  Luke  12.  48.-  John  6, 
40. 

Human    Inability. 

S.  That  men  are  utterly  unable  to  do  any  thing 
whatever  that  will  atone  for  their  sins,  and  that  they 
can  neither  justify  themselves  before  God  on  the 
ground  of  any  good  works  performed  by  them,  nor 
bring  Him  under  obligations  to  impart  any  new  pow- 
er to  perform  deeds  of  holiness,  but  if  saved  at  all, 
must  consent  to  be  eternalty  indebted  to  the  grace  of 
God  in  Jesus  Christ  alone. 

Rom.  3.  20;   8.8;    3.24. 

Necessity  of  the  Spirit's  influence. 

9.  That  men  are  naturally  so  averse  from  God 
and  holiness,  that  if  left  to  themselves  without  the 
influence  of  the  Holy  Spirit  they  never  will  repent  of 
their  sins  and  believe  on  Jesus  Christ. 

John  6.  44,  45;  16.  13. 

The  Agency  of  the  Holy  Spirit  in  Regeneration. 

10.  That  while  the  Holy  Spirit  as  the  great  effi- 
cient agent,  influences  the  mind  and  heart  of  the 
sinner  to  repent  and  believe,  He  does  it  by  means  of 


the  truth  or  facts  of  revelation    adapted  to  their  con- 
dition and  character  as  rational  and  voluntary  agents, 
made   known    in  the  sacred   scriptures,    and   urged 
in  the  preaching  of  the  word. 
James  1.  18;  1  Cor.  4,   15. 

The  nature  of  Regeneration. 

11.  That  it  is  the  duty  of  every  sinner  to  he  re- 
generated, and  that  in  becoming  so,  while  men  are 
operated  on  by  the  Spirit  of  God  they  act 
freely,  cordially  renounce  all  their  sins,  believe 
in  Christ,  give  themselves  to  God,  engage  to 
keep  all  his  commandments  and  thus  begin  a  new 
life. 

Ezekiel  18.  31  ;  John  1.  12, 13,  56:  1  John  5  1:4.7:3.  9,  14, 
24:  2.  29. 

God's  gracious  Sovereignty . 

12.  That  while  the  Holy  Spirit  of  God  is  sent  by 
the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  to  reprove  the  world  of  sin,  and 
so  strives  with  all  men  in  a  greater  or  less  degree, 
the  efficacy  or  success  of  His  influence  in  making 
any  sinner  willing  to  repent  and  turn  to  God  is  in 
pursuance  of  His  own  most  gracious  purpose,  and 
that  a  purpose,  not  because  of  faith  or  good  works  fore- 
seen, nor  of  any  obligations  on  God  created  by  the 
sinner's  use  of  the  means  of  grace,  nor  any  supposed 
improvement  of  present  ability,  but  according  to  the 
counsel  of  his  own  infinite  wisdom  and  benevolence. 

John  16,  9:  Eph.  1.  11:   2  Tim.  1.  9;  Rom.  9.  11,  15, 16. 

The  jierseverance  of  the  Saints. 

13.  That  those  who  truly  believe  in  Christ,  are  un- 


der  obligations  to  abound  in  good  works,  and  will  per- 
severe in  holiness  to  the  end;  but  that  such  persever- 
ance in  holiness  is  not  the  result  of  any  mysti- 
cal indestructible  principle  created  in  them,  but  is  se- 
cured by  continual  supplies  of  the  Spirit  by  virtue  of 
the  divine  care  and  faithfulness  towards  all  that  be- 
lieve, who  are  kept  by  the  power  of  God  through 
faith  unto  salvation, 
1  Cor.  15.  58:  1.  8:  1  Pet.  1.  5;   John  10:  27,  28. 

Ground  of  admission  to  the  Church. 

14.  That  credible  evidence  of  a  saving  change  of 
heart  is  an  indispensable  ground  of  admission  to  the 
privileges  of  the  visible  church. 

Mat  7.  21;   John  3.  3,  5,  7;.  Acts  8.  37. 

The  Sacraments. 

15.  That  Christ  has  instituted  Baptism, — design- 
ed to  represent  the  cleansing  efficacy  of  His  blood  and 
the  purifying  influence  of  His  Spirit,  and  to  initiate 
the  individual  into  the  church, — and  the  Lord's  Sup- 
per,— designed  as  commemorative  of  the  dying  love 
of  Christ,  for  the  use  and  edification  of  the  church; 
and  that  baptism  ought  to  be  administered  to  none 
but  believers  and  their  household,  and  the  Lord's 
Supper  to  none  but  such  as  credibly  profess  their  faith 
in  him. 

Baptism — Mat.  28.  19:  Acts  2.  39  compared  with  Gen.  17.  7, 
14  and  Horn.  Chap.  11. 

The  Lord's  Supper— Luke  22.  19,  20  ;  1  Cor.  11.  23,  26:  5.7, 
8;  6.  9—11. 

Duties  of  Christians. 

16.  That  obedience  to  the  moral  law  as  a  rule  of 


11 

life,  a  conscientious  and  uniform  attendance  on  public 
worship  and  the  observance  of  secret  and  family 
prayer, — an  unreserved  and  entire  consecration  of 
property,  influence,  talents,  and  time  to  promote  the 
glory  of  God  and  the  salvation  of  men,  are  duties 
which  every  Christian  is  bound  to  discharge. 
John  14.  21:  15.  8,  14:  1  Cor.  6.  20.-  10.  31.  Gal.  5.  22—26. 

Perpetuity   of  the  Church — resurrection — final 
Judgment. 

17.  That  God  will  have  a  church  in  the  world  to 
the  end  of  time,  when  the  dead  shall  be  raised — the 
judgment  shall  sit — and  the  righteous  be  received  into 
everlasting  life,  but  the  wicked  doomed  to  everlasting 
destruction. 

Mat.  16.  18:  Mat.  25.  31,  46:  John  5.  28,  29.-  Mat.  13.  24,  30  ; 
2  Thes.  1.  7—9. 

Do  you  now  before  God  and  his  people  adopt  and 
profess  your  belief  in  the  foregoing  summary  of  gos- 
pel doctrine  and  duty?  Attend  now  to 

THE     COVENANT. 

You  do  now  in  the  sight  of  God,  confess  and  la- 
ment your  past  opposition  to  God — the  impenitence 
which  so  long  characterised  you — that  unbelief  which 
led  you  to  reject  a  dying  Saviour  and  the  manifold 
transgressions  of  your  lives,  all  of  which  things  you 
do  now  cordially  condemn;  nevertheless  you  believe 
there  is  mercy  for  you  in  Christ,  and  that  you  have  an 
ample  warrant  in  His  word  to  confide  in  Him  and  re^ 
ceive  the  forgiveness  of  all  your  sins. 

Jer.  14.  7,  20,  21:    Psalm  32.  5,  6. 


12 

You  do  therefore  avouch  the  Father,  Son  and  Ho- 
ly Spirit,  the  one  only  living  and  true  God,  to  be  your 
God;  and  receive  the  Father  as  your  Father;  the  Son  as 
your  all-sufficient  and  only  Redeemer;  and  the  Holy 
Spirit  as  your  sanctifier. 
Psalm  116.  13,  14  and  16—19, 

Professing  unfeigned  sorrow  for  your  past  sins,  and 
renouncing  all  ungodliness  and  every  wovldly  lust, 
you  do  now  freely,  and  in  the  fixed  choice  and  purpose 
of  your  heart  give  up  yourselves  soul  and  body  with 
all  that  you  have,  to  be  the  Lord's  promising  to  walk 
before  Him  in  holiness  and  love  all  the  days  of  your 
life,  diligently  discharging  the  duties  of  all  your  rela- 
tions, making  war  against  every  sinful  passion, 
crucifying  your  affections  and  lusts  and  endeavouring 
to  walk  after  the  example  of  Christ. 

Psalm  73.  25:  1  Thes.  3.  12,  13:  Eph.  5.  21,  22,  25:  6.  1,  4,  5,9: 
Gal.  5.  19—26. 

You  receive  the  brethren  in  Christ  of  this  church, 
as  your  brethren,  and  His  friends  as  your  friends,  and 
promise  to  watch  over  them  with  all  christian  fideli- 
ty and  tenderness. 

Heb.  3.  12,  13;  1  Thes.  5.  14. 

You  do  also  submit  to  the  government  of  Christ  in 
His  church,  and  to  the  regular  administration  of  it  in 
this  church  in  particular. 

1  Thes.  5.  12,  13;  Heb.  13.  17. 

You  do  also  covenant  to  walk  in  communion  with 
your  brethren  of  this  church,  uniting  with  them  in  at- 
tending on,  and  contributing  of  your  pecuniary  means 


13 

to.  the  support  of  public  worship,  whilst  you  continue 
to  be  members  of  this  church;  and  when  in  the  provi- 
dence of  God  you  may  be  called  to  reside  elsewhere, 
still  to  profess  your  adherence  to  God  by  entering 
into  visible  fellowship  with  some  christian  church 
where  the  ordinances  of  the  gospel  may  be  maintained 

1  Thes  5.  15:  Eph  2.  19. 

And  you  do  finally  engage  to  live  as  an  humble 
christian,  by  conscientiously  discharging  your  duty, 
and  particularly  when  in  health  and  not  prevented  by 
the  providence  of  God, by  taking  care  not  to  forsake  the 
assembling  of  yourselves  together  with  your  brethren 
for  divine  worship  ;  by  commemorating  the  death  of 
Christ  at  his  table;  by  maintaining  secret  and  family 
prayer;  by  remembering  the  Sabbath  day  to  keep  it  ho- 
ly and  to  abstain  from  unnecessary  business,  travel- 
ling and  recreations  on  it;  by  cultivating  peace  with  all 
and  fellowship  with  the  saints;  by  contributing  by  your 
prayers,  efforts,  example  and  liberality  to  promote  the 
prosperity  of  the  church  of  God;  by  renouncing  the  fel- 
lowship of  wicked  &  ungodly  men ;  by  maintaining  up- 
rightness and  honesty  in  all  your  worldly  transactions; 
and  by  avoiding  every  known  sin,  particularly  your 
besetting  sins,  the  injuring  of  a  brother's  reputation 
attendance  at  balls,  dancings,  theatres  and  such  like 
demoralizing  amusements,  conformity  to  a  sinful 
world,  and  whatsoever  might  prove  a  stumbling  block 
in  the  way  of  sinners  or  wound  and  bring  reproach 
upon  the  cause  of  Christ. 

Heb.  10.  25:  Psalm  101.  2,  7:  122.  6—9.  Rom.  12.  2. 
All  this  in  humble  dependence  on  the  grace  of  God 
you  solemnly  engage  ?

A  1>  DRE  S  S. 

Beloved  in  the  Lord  )^ou  have  witnessed  a  good 
confession:  you  have  recognized  and  assented  to  en- 
gagements from  which  you  never  can  escape.  Your 
vows  will  meet  you  at  the  bar  of  God.  You  never 
can  be  as  you  have  been,  but  must  henceforth  and  for- 
ever be  the  servants  of  God.  From  the  holy  and  rea- 
sonable obligations  you  have  just  recognised,  you  can 
never  absolve  yourselves.  Nor  can  you  separate  your- 
selves from  God's  visible  church,  and  cease  to  walk 
with  His  professing  people  in  the  ordinances  of  the 
gospel,  without  being  guilty  of  covenant  breaking,  and 
exposing  yourselves  to  the  righteous  displeasure  o 
God.  You  cannot  be  justified  in  absenting  yourselves 
from  the  worship  and  ordinances  of  Christ's  house 
for  any  other  reason  than  such  as  may  be  resolved 
into  the  overruling  and  controlling  providence  of  God. 
You  are  the  Lord's  by  your  own  solemn  act  of  self- 
commitment,  and  we  trust  that  you  do  sincerely  de- 
sire, and  will  constantly  aim,  to  live  only  for  Him  to 
whom  you  have  now  consecrated  all  the  powers  of 
your  being.  The  eyes  of  the  world  will  be  upon  you. 
As  )rou  demean  yourselves  so  will  religion  and  this 
church  through  you  be  honored  or  disgraced.  If  you 
live  according  to  the  gospel,  you  will  be  a  comfort  and 
a  credit  to  us,  but  if  not,  a  stumbling  block,  the  grief 
of  our  heart  and  a  vexation.  We  charge  you  before 
God  to  be  holy  in  all  manner  of  holy  conversation 
and  godliness.

"[Here  the  persons  received  by  certificate  from  oth- 
er churches  and  all  the  members  of  the  church  will 
rise,  when  the  new  members  will  be  addressed  in  the 
following  or  similar  language  of] 

AC  CEPTATION. 

In  consequence  of  your  professions  and  engage- 
ments, we  receive  you  into  our  communion  as  mem- 
bers of  this  church,  and  promise  to  watch  over  you 
with  true  affection  and  tenderness,  ever  treating  you 
in  love,  as  members  of  the  body  of  Christ,  who  is 
Head  over  all  things  to  the  church.  This  we  do  im- 
ploring of  the  great  Shepherd  of  Israel  our  common 
Lord  and  Redeemer,  that  both  you  and  we  may  have 
wisdom  and  grace  to  be  faithful  in  His  covenant,  and 
to  glorify  Him  with  the  holiness  which  becometh  his 
house  for  ever,     Amen. 


RESOLUTIONS  AND  QUESTIONS. 

The  following  resolutions  designed  to  direct  the 
members  of  the  church  in  maintaining  a  consistent 
walk,  are  recommended  to  their  careful  observance 
and  frequent  perusal. 

1.  Resolved,  That  I  will  make  it  a  matter  of  con- 
science to  attend  all  the  meetings  for  social  worship 
appointed  by  the  church,  except  when  prevented  by 
the  providence  of  God,  and  not  fear  or  be  ashamed 
when  called  on  to  take  part  in  them. 


16 

2.  Resolved,  That  I  will  make  it  a  matter  of  con- 
science to  do  what  I  can  by  my  pecuniary  ability  to 
promote  the  kingdom  of  the  Redeemer,  and  that  I 
will  take  care  punctually  to  discharge  my  pecuniary 
obligations  to  this  church  as  they  become  due. 

3.  Resolved,  That  I  will  sincere!}'  desire  and  pray, 
and  labor  for  the  salvation  of  my  children,  and  such 
youth  whether  apprentices  or  others,  as  may  be 
committed  to  my  care,  making  it  a  matter  of  con- 
science to  maintain  regularly  the  worship  of  God  in 
my  family. 

4.  Resolved,  That  I  will  keep  my  tongue  from 
speaking  evil  of  a  brother  or  sister  of  the  church,  and 
if  in  any  thing  I  become  displeased  with  such,  I  will 
follow  the  gospel  rule  and  tell  him  or  her  my  feelings 
between  ourselves  alone. 

5.  Resolved,  That  I  will  cultivate  a  spirit  of  chris- 
tian tenderness  towards  the  failings  and  imperfections 
of  my  brethren,  and  if  at  any  time  I  think  their  con- 
duct reprehensible,  Iwill  admonish  them  before  I  allow 
myself  to  speak  of  it  to  others. 

6.  Resolved,  That  I  will  make  it  a  matter  of  con- 
science never  to  visit  anyplace  of  amusement  or  seek 
any  social  pleasures,  on  which  I  cannot  first  ask  the 
divine  blessing,  or  where  it  may  be  deemed  intrusive 
to  introduce  the  subject  of  religion, 

7.  Resolved,  That  I  will  hold  myself  ready  to  for- 
give, and  will  pray  for  my  enemies. 

S.  Resolved,  That  I  will  deny  myself  every  sinful 
gratification,  and  the  indulgence   of  every  improper 


17 

passion,  and  endeavour  to  be  instrumental  in  bringing 
sinners  to  repentance. 

9.  Resolved,  That  in  the  prosecution  of  my  world- 
ly business,  I  will  rather  suffer  loss  than  be  guilty  of 
any  act  of  injustice,  oppression,  deception,  or  fraud. 

10.  Resolved,  That  I  will  never  abuse  or  impeach 
the  motives  of  my  fellow  christians  when  they  may 
ask  me  for  pecuniary  aid  for  some  benevolent  pur- 
pose, and  that  I  will  endeavor  to  act  in  all  cases  agree- 
ably to  the  obligations  that  rest  on  those  whom  God 
holds  responsible  as  his  stewards. 

The  following-  questions  are  affectionately   recommended  to  the 
prayerful  and  frequent  perusal  of  each  members  of  this  church,

13 

8.  If  you  are  ?t  variance  with  a  christian  professor, 
will  you  go  without  delay,  and  if  you  have  been  inju-

or  injurious  remark  in  reference  to  a  christian  bro- 
ther, either  to  admonish  the  person  who  has  made  it  or

N.  B.  The  account  of  dismissions,  deaths,  &c.  in 
the  above  list  is  brought  up  to  September  14th,  and 
no  further. 

The  dates  of  dismission  are  not  given.  A  very- 
large  number  were  dismissed  in  1S32,  33.  The  last 
account  which  was  rendered  to  Presbytery,  was  in 
April,  1S32,  when  the  registered  number  of  commu- 
nicants was  G52.  The  reports  made  to  Presbytery  are, 
and  ever  have  been  uniformly  made  from  the  Regis- 
ter, and  never  by  counting  the  number  of  persons 
actually  communing  at  onetime.  Owing  to  sickness, 
and  afflictions  in  families,  absence  from  the  place,  and 
other  causes,  the  number  of  persons  actually  com- 
muning on  any  one  occasion,  fall  far  short  of  the  en- 
tire number  of  communicants,  and  this  number  has 
varied  from  150  to  upwards  of  250.  On  no  two  oc- 
casions have  the  entire  number  of  persons  commun- 
ing been  the  same.  The  average  number  of  persons 
actually  communing,  owing  to  the  above  mentioned 
and  other  causes,  always  fall  short  of  the  entire  num- 
ber of  regular  communicants,  in  proportions  above 
stated — the  average  number  communing  increasing 
proportionally,  as  the  entire  number  of  registered 
members  increases.  To  estimate  or  represent  the 
number  of  the  communing  members  of  the  church, 
from  the  number  of  pews  or  seats  occupied  by  persons 
actually  at  one  time  communing,  would  be  as  certain 
to  deceive,  as  it  would  be  altogether  unpresbyterial 
and  unbecoming  an  officer  of  the  church,  whose  duty 
it  is  to  be  acquainted  with  the  Register  and  to  report 
accurately  to  Presbytery. 


46  _ 

The  number  of  pews  appropriated  to  the  use  of 
communicants,  and  which  ordinarily  when  there  has 
been  no  dissention  among  the  members,  and  general 
health  has  prevailed,  have  been  filled  is  70  which 
will  on  an  average  without  incommoding  the  occu- 
pants accommodate  3S0  persons.  On  different  occa- 
sions, when  ihe  season,  weather,  and  other  circum- 
stances, were  favourable  there  has  been  a  much  larg- 
er attendance  of  communicants,  and  the  number  of 
pews  appropriated  for  their  use  has  been  increased. 
1  he  frequency  of  the  communion,  occurring  regular- 
ly every  two  months,  renders  a  sacramental  occasion 
by  no  means  an  extraordinary  event. 

Some  persons,  a  few  insulated  individuals,  have  re-, 
moved  from  the  bounds  of  the  congregation,  taking 
with  them  travelling  certificates  without  ever  being- 
dismissed,  and  have  probably  become  connected  with 
other  churches  unknown  to  the  Session.  Their  names 
however,  are  retained  on  the  Register,  and  are  in- 
eluded  in  the  reports  made  in  obedience  to  the  deci- 
sion of  the  General  Assembly,  who  in  1S25,  ordained 
"that  church  members  who  have  been  absent,  for  a 
number  of  years  in  unknown  places,  are  by  no  means 
to  liave  their  names  erased  from  tlj^pprtirches  to  which 
they  belong."  p.  256. 

The  names  of  females  when  they  joined  the  church 
are  retained,  without  noticing  the  changes  which 
they  have  since  sustained  by  Marriage. 

The  entire  number  of  communicants  now  belong- 
ing to  the  church,  is  489.  The  greatest  number  re- 
ceived into  communion  during  any  one  year,  was  1  25. 
In  IS 23  the  number  was  12  1,  in  IS  31  -  I  in 


47 


1834  not  yet  completed  94.  The  least  number  re- 
ceived into  communion  during  any  one  year  was  11, 
viz:  in  1S26.  At  every  communion  season  there  has 
been  an  addition  of  one  or  more.
